The offender was convicted by a jury of possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.
The Crown sought a 6-year prison sentence, while the defence proposed a conditional sentence.
The court found the offender to be a mid-level trafficker motivated by commercial gain, but noted her lack of a criminal record and strong potential for rehabilitation.
Emphasizing the dangers of fentanyl and the need for denunciation and deterrence, the court rejected a conditional sentence and imposed a 4-year custodial sentence.
